Friends, this Friday, February 8th marks the tenth year of this illustrious group.

I can tell you that I do have a couple of special things planned for that day, and I think with the day quickly approaching that we all need to give it the due fanfare and recognition it deserves. Writers, artists, well-wishers, think about what you can contribute to commemorate this day in Rangerphile history. It doesn't have to be spectacular or grandiose--even just your written-down thoughts about the Rangers, the Cafe and all of its history would be fine.

Even if you have an idea that can't be done on the day, go ahead and get it started. We've got twelve months to bask in the glow of it, but if we each do a little something we can make the day special and it'll be something we can archive and all enjoy as Rangerphiles for years to come :-)

I think a good theme for the day would be "What the Cafe Has Meant To Me". It's a time to look back, reminisce and think about all that we've been through here. Even if you're new, consider what's led you here and what you think about being in a community like this. I'm sure there's plenty more good ideas out there too, so let's get the ball rolling!

And sadly I won't be here...! I'll be enjoying myself in Oxford with a huge bunch of people, many of which are mates and some I look forward to meeting for the first time (think R-Con but much, much bigger!). But I suppose that's the underlying theme... a group of like-minded nutcases from a particular forum congregating and living the spirit. Well I will, it's being held in a pub :gad-lol:

I had a thought and hammered together a short little story, but it turned out to be terribly depressing (not an emotion I'd like to associate with the cafe's tenth anniversary). I'll see if I can put together a more optimistic story over the next few days...

I have some things tentatively planned, but they won't be out in time for Friday. What I have in mind is more of a summer project...

Well, friday also happens to be my annual celebration of my natal experience, I got a heck of a party planned (unusal for me I must add, I'm a geek and loner to the bones, but it pays off to have an over-socialized friend with connections...).

I might have something for this, nothing spectacular, but it's something I've been working on.

My friends.
On this day, ten years ago a place called the Acorn Cafe was established. It was a small enclave set on a faulty Boards Inside the Web. Now, a decade later, with over four hundred members (among them over fifty active), and new ones coming and old ones returning every month it's stronger than ever before.
This undoubtedly is the friendliest community on the net!
I'm proud to be a part of this place, it's history and legacy. I'm proud to be able to carry on its mission and increase its glory.

LONG LIVE THE ACORN CAFE!

Well, I think I just arrived in time...

Congratulations to all people involved for keeping the Café up and running for ten years! And to many more years, of course!
